The system installed without any problems, but after a reboot, I discovered that I couldn't start XFree86 when logged in using my normal account. My normal account is not a member of the Administrators group. The install was done as Admin, an account that is a member of the Administrators group. The inheritable permissions on my C:\ drive give Full Control to SYSTEM and Administrators, but only Read and Execute to the Users group. After some quick experimentation, I discovered that granting Modify permissions to the Users group for the C:\cygwin\tmp directory solved my problems. I would recommend either adding code for this to the setup program or adding an entry to the FAQ. I did a search in the FAQ for permissions and for tmp, but didn't find anything, so if I missed it, I apologize. You might double check this, but I believe a successful grant of the permissions can be effected by: cacls "C:\cygwin\tmp" /T /E /G Users:C Find appended the output from cygcheck -s -v -r. Oh, my Boot drive has more than 1536MB! Just defending myself from myself by using quotas. --Toby Everett Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Sep 20 07:37:14 2002 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Path: . \cygwin\bin \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin C:\Perl\bin\ C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem C:\WINDOWS\bin C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperLite\ SysDir: C:\WINDOWS\System32 WinDir: C:\WINDOWS Path = `.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\ WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\bin;C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperLite\' ALLUSERSPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users' APPDATA = `C:\Documents and Settings\Toby\Application Data' CLASSPATH = `"d\QTJava.zip"' CLIENTNAME = `Console' CommonProgramFiles = `C:\Program Files\Common Files' COMPUTERNAME = `MEXP' ComSpec = `C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' CYGWIN_ROOT = `\cygwin' DiskeeperIcon = `C:\Program Files\Executive Software\DiskeeperLite\' DISPLAY = `127.0.0.1:0.0' HOMEDRIVE = `C:' HOMEPATH = `\Documents and Settings\Toby' LOGONSERVER = `\\MEXP' NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS = `1' OS = `Windows_NT' PATHEXT = `.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH' PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = `x86' PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER = `x86 Family 15 Model 1 Stepping 2, GenuineIntel' PROCESSOR_LEVEL = `15' PROCESSOR_REVISION = `0102' ProgramFiles = `C:\Program Files' PROMPT = `$P$G' QTJAVA = `"d\QTJava.zip"' SESSIONNAME = `Console' SystemDrive = `C:' SystemRoot = `C:\WINDOWS' TEMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\Toby\LOCALS~1\Temp' TMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\Toby\LOCALS~1\Temp' USERDOMAIN = `MEXP' USERNAME = `Toby' USERPROFILE = `C:\Documents and Settings\Toby' windir = `C:\WINDOWS' HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 (default) = `/cygdrive' cygdrive flags = 0x00000020 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/ (default) = `C:\cygwin' flags = 0x00000008 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin (default) = `C:\cygwin/bin' flags = 0x00000008 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib (default) = `C:\cygwin/lib' flags = 0x00000008 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 /fonts (default) = `C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts' flags = 0x0000000a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options a: fd N/A N/A c: hd NTFS 1536Mb 36% CP CS UN PA FC Boot d: cd N/A N/A e: cd N/A N/A s: hd NTFS 7169Mb 14% CP CS UN PA FC Scratch x: hd FAT32 7382Mb 1% CP UN TRANSFER C:\cygwin / system textmode C:\cygwin/bin /usr/bin system textmode C:\cygwin/lib /usr/lib system textmode C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts system binmode . /cygdrive user textmode,cy gdrive Found: \cygwin\bin\bash.exe Found: \cygwin\bin\cat.exe Found: C:\WINDOWS\bin\cat.exe Warning: \cygwin\bin\cat.exe hides C:\WINDOWS\bin\cat.exe Not Found: cpp (good!)
